How CitiGreen Uses Billd to Keep Every Project on Schedule — No Matter How Many Are Running at Once
CitiGreen, a solar contractor specializing in commercial projects, was facing funding issues due to the need for large material purchases, which their bank lines of credit couldn't always support. By using Billd's integrated payment solution, they were able to bypass vendor credit checks and keep multiple projects on schedule, resolving their previous funding challenges.
“Billd has eliminated our problems with funding completely. We've been able to keep all of our projects on schedule with no delay, and we're finishing our projects faster than when we were just using vendor credit. And the staff at Billd is fantastic. They've made the whole process very smooth and easy for us.”

The Challenge
Insufficient Bank Lines of Credit
Commercial solar projects require large material purchases upfront. CitiGreen's bank lines of credit were frequently insufficient to cover the scale of what was needed, especially when multiple projects were active at once.
Bulk Project Cycles
Projects tended to arrive in clusters rather than individually, creating sudden spikes in material demand that their existing financing couldn't absorb.
Vendor Credit Check Barriers
When working with new suppliers, vendor credit checks created additional barriers to procurement — slowing down purchasing and risking project delays.
The Solution
After hearing about Billd through a solar distributor, CitiGreen implemented Billd's integrated payment solution and has already seen great results.
- They have been able to bypass the credit check completely with vendors they've never used before, which has helped to keep their projects steady.
- Billd has allowed them to keep their construction projects on schedule, even when there are multiple happening at once.
